Is this bad for me?

Quit the diet drinks right now! I used to drink a litre of diet peach/raspberry spritzer stuff almost daily 3 or so years ago and went through like a pack of gum every two or three days. I now have an extremely weak, unpredictable and shitty (no pun intended :P) digestive system, symptoms reminiscient of IBS. I'm hoping I don't end up with Crohns or any other DS diseases later on in life. Adult diapers aren't cool, if they can be prevented that is :P. Instead of the diet stuff drink water! I've increased my water intake lately and my quality of life has noticeably improved. Obviously I canT be 100% sure that it was due to the artificial sweetners but that was the only thing out of the ordinary in my diet/lifestyle that could be causing these problems. Cheers

Artificial sweeteners have been linked to digestive issues, seizures, headaches, depression and many other shenanigans. Nasty, nasty chemicals.
 
i thought 2 litres of 7up in my school days, every day was bad Enough Lol.

Yeah 4 litres of Diet (urgh sweeteners)
is bad for you
 
Yeah 4 litres is bad for you! :P
Try just one can of that per day, or even one of those small bottles, that would work.
If you're in good shape and generally healthy, use a fruit juice as another can or bottle. It is bad for you BUT better than drinking so much of the diet drink.
Drink water and milk! :)
 
thanks for the suggestions! I am guessing its herbal tea and water for me in the future! Damnit Imma miss my vimto, that is for sure :(
 
Here's the thing wooger:

when I was younger, I HATED water, herbal tea, fruit and wholemeal bread. I only liked Irn-Bru really.

I now DESPISE any fizzy drink and am obsessed with herbal teas and only drink water besides that, only eat wholemeal and lov fruit.

It is not only possible, but absolutely probable that you will soon be at a point where you prefer herbal tea and don't miss vimto at all.

4litres of Vimto a day is fucking insane. You are doing the right thing. It won't take long of drinking herbal tea and water to start liking it, then enjoying it, then loving it, then preferring it, then not giving a shit about vimto!
